Looks like everyone heading to Japan this Summer are in for a real treat, well an extra treat if you include the Olympics. Let’s just jump back to last year when Japan announced it was to build a new life sized Gundam and unlike it’s previous one this one would have a few more functions. As of today we now know it will be situated in Yokohama.

Specifically the Gundam will be located near China Town at Yamashita Futo harbor in a special area that will be hence forth known as The Gundam Factory – at this point I am wondering if Japan’s SDF will be flying round in Giant Robots come this summer.

Visitors will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with this beast via several walkways. Not only that but the machine will have limited movement and a few other undetermined functions.

I will be looking forward to seeing this guy in action on my next visit.
